There’s more to the stock Photos app than meets the eye, argues Apple in the latest mini-tutorial video. That’s especially true if you’re willing to interact with the various color level sliders that can really help you make a more distinctive photo.

The new videos promote frequent iOS updates help keep iPhones more secure and the Move to iOS app that switchers would use to transfer their settings, media and other data from an Android device to an iPhone.

Apple’s new support app is great for fast troubleshooting or getting in touch with Apple staff. Still, another feature stands out as the unsung hero: screen any of your devices’ warranty status, including AppleCare, in no time.

As first noted by MacRumors, Apple now lets you buy extended warranty coverage for your iPhone up to twelve months after your device purchase.

Previously, customers had up to 60 days following an iPhone purchase to buy an extended AppleCare+ coverage for their phone. This information, originally provided by “multiple people familiar with the matter”, has been subsequently confirmed by a senior AppleCare advisor and other sources.

After soft-launching a dedicated Apple Support app in the Netherlands last month, Apple is currently rolling out this application to more countries, including the United States, where it is now available for download.

An annoying graphics glitching issue that some owners of the new MacBook Pro are seeing should become a thing of the past when macOS 10.12.2 Sierra software update releases for public consumption, according to a purported email message from Apple’s software boss Craig Federighi.

Portland-based MacRumors forum member Dennis reportedly received a reply from Federighi after asking Tim Cook via email about the reported glitches, which range from screen tearing and broken textures to brightly colored flickering and checkerboard patterns to issues with translucency, transparent graphics and other visual artifacts.
